president obama. but the supposedly gigantic growth of those deficits is why congressional republicans are committed to us lurching from self-imposed crisis to self-imposed crisis instead of us working this stuff out like adults. the accusation that president obama has grown the deficit giantly since he has been in office is a very politically potent accusation. and when republicans say it, the beltway media tends to write it down as if it was true. it is not true. it has not been true for a very long time, and there is really no excuse anymore for not knowing that. meet the 5-passenger ford c-max hybrid. when you're carrying a lot of weight, c-max has a nice little trait, you see, c-max helps you load your freight, with its foot-activated lift gate. but that's not all you'll see, cause c-max also beats prius v, with better mpg. say hi to the all-new 47 combined mpg c-max hybrid. impact wool exports from new zealand, textile production in spain, and the use of medical technology in the u.s.? at t. row
